Elie Saab Haute Couture S/S 2011

hôtel de mode favourite - obsessed with splits in long dresses & skirts at the moment!

So sweet

Oh that beading!

Stunning V back & train

Elis Saab Haute Couture S/S 2011

My favourite haute couture designer has to be Elie Saab. Season after season he comes up with the most glamourous yet sophisticated gowns. This collection is everything that I love - lace, beading & sheer fabrics teamed with simple hair & makeup. Loving the colour pallet too. I love getting all dressed up and glamourous - any excuse will do! Right now I'm obsessed with splits in long dresses and skirts and am looking for something of the like for a few upcoming events. I'm well and truly over the mini trend. Nothing like getting a little fashion inspiration from the Paris haute couture shows...

About Me

A 20 something year old Commerce/Law student with a passion for fashion who enjoys playing dress ups.
Fashion is a form of escapism for me. I channel my creativity into finding the perfect outfit in my closet every morning.
I first found my love of clothes and accessories at the age of four when I insisted upon wearing jodhpurs in shades of fawn and navy with blazers and riding boots and I was never seen without a handbag. I don't have one particular style - I like to experiment with different styles from colourful kaftans for summer to chic woolen and fur coats teamed with boots for winter. I enjoy mixing designer labels with high street, vintage store and market finds to create classic yet fashion forward look.
